Reader's Digest's 50 Science Fiction Books That'll Transport You to a Different Place and Time

"Science fiction explores both the most wondrous and darkest possibilities of our world. Tracing back to Mary Shelley's 1818 Frankenstein, the genre has been entertaining readers young and old for more than 200 years. The best sci-fi books ask "what if" questions about our societies, species and existence as a whole. While science fiction and fantasy books often overlap, sci-fi generally abides by scientific logic, whereas fantasy tends to include elements of magic instead. The best sci-fi books, however, blend innovative technological elements with subsequent social ramifications. We've compiled 50 of the best sci-fi books everyone should read, including titles that have remained relevant through the years, books that have been lauded by critics and readers alike, series that have been turned into films and TV shows, and newer page-turners that have created buzz and landed on bestseller lists." - stage.rd.com
